Nearly 30 years ago RB Jerome Bettis played in the first NFL game in Ireland. Sunday, he’ll just be a fan. And like anyone watching from their seat, he has a prediction for the Pittsburgh Steelers’ contest against the Minnesota Vikings.
“I’m predicting that the Steelers pull it out,” Bettis said while speaking to media in Ireland earlier today via the team’s YouTube channel. “It’s gonna be a tight game. I think the Steelers pull out the game, 27-21. It’s gonna be not a high-scoring affair, but you’re gonna see some fireworks.”
The Steelers played a 1997 preseason game in Ireland against the Chicago Bears in Bettis’ second season with the team.
